What relation does that scientist even have with "Nakamoto"

It think you have misunderstood how this puzzle worked.

No.I'm fully aware how this puzzle worked.However I found it little dumb the way question was formed.As said even if given me the letters of the Scientist in Jumbled way, I would still no guess the answer.

Words that was not part of the solution was bitcoin related.
You are speculating,

All words are bitcoin-related. 
Which should follow even the solution is bitcoin related, and OP care to tell me how exactly is Christiaan Huygens(what if someone wrote just one word) "Word" search?

P.S: Not being butthurt that I didn't win(maybe a bit), just would like an explanation as the rules/hints seemed very vague

Indeed.I literally skimmed through the technical glossary of bitcoin and bitcoin mining.What relation does that scientist even have with "Nakamoto"(as it was one of the words).Silly.

How this is called a "puzzle" again ? There was no logic in it at all.How many of us do even think have heard about this scientist? How's he related to bitcoin anyway ?Next puzzle please keep it little more logical and on the common grounds that we all agree to.I would't have gotten this answer if you would have simply given the letters to this name in a jumbled way.SMH...

And how exactly was he related to bitcoin as the puzzle solution requirement states?

No I dont escrow anymore.
I dont get it there are plenty of words, all show up as "Wrong answer"

It also says "use the remaining letters to form a solution", remaining from what?

Find as many words as you can and then if you are absolutely sure there are no more words, use the remaining letters to form the solution.

So you're saying the solution will end up being something logical? Using the remaining letters to make a word that is?

Edit: Also, are backwards words valid?

I found a few words, this is whats left. From one of the words I found at the end "malleability". I understood that the letters can be reused. Since I dont have a printer or any other good method with me to mark the words. Enjoy.

Same. Too many words like "MATH" "BLOCK" "NAKAMOTO" were found. All shows up wrong / incorrect. How to get the solution ?
P.S. The concept of the puzzle is not clear.
